We all know there are many readers, but few true literary geniuses. For a little fun, join me in a "Classic Literature: How Well Do You Know Your First Lines" quiz. Not your idea of fun??? Humor me and take the quiz anyway like; it will help me justify the afternoon I spent ignoring my children creating this quiz.
Have fun and good luck. Please post your results.
Go take the quiz.
(Information used to create this quiz was taken from 100 Best First Lines on Litline.org)

I got 40% - It told me I better get reading. that was fun.
53% for my eruditical self! The response was 'my 12 year old could do better!' Problem is, Chantalle does not have a 12 year old. At least not that I know of . . . Hmmmmmmmm.

53%. I'm so embarrassed!
I joined the 53% club, I guess. I have to admit, I have never even heard of Gravity's Rainbow or its author. Fun quiz
i only recently heard of "gravity's rainbow"; it was chosen by NYT book group as feb. 2007 reading. it had an interesting discussion following the reading which prompted me to purchase it. i have not read it yet.
I managed to guess my way to 73%. I started out strong but faded toward the end.
And I wouldn't recommend trying to read Gravity's Rainbow without some serious supplements to help. Thomas Pynchon's novels are notoriously dense (America's answer to James Joyce), and almost all of them are very long. I read the Crying of Lot 49 (by far his shortest work), and I was baffled from page 5 on.
My friend and I were recently talking about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.

Захотели заказать в кредит [url=http://shkafy.com/garderob/]гардеробная комната[/url] порекомендуйте еще что то, ассортимент сейчас такой огромный запуталась я
[color=#000000]не так давно мы с женой наконец-то сделали ремонт и задумались о приобретении новой мебели для спальни, в том числе, такого необходимого предмета мебели и интерьера как [url=http://shkafy.com/]мебель на заказ[/url]. подумали о новом приобретении и осознали, что не в силах ответить на некоторые вопросы, которые вызваны этим решением. Без опыта (пусть даже и чужого), как говорится, трудно! пожалуйста, дайте совет! Как нам выбрать шкаф, и какие детали следует учесть при выборе? На что надо ориентироваться, приобретая шкаф в магазине? а, возможно, его все-таки заказать? какие комплектующие и материалы приобрести? Для нас эти все и остальные нюансы являются загадкой. помимо этого хотим [url=http://shkafy.com/]шкафы купе[/url]. когда приобретение шкафа купе будет куда целесообразнее, чем покупка стандартного шкафа? Хочется услышать рекомендации людей, купивших шкаф и могут дать некий совет. Буду крайне благодарен за ваше мнение.благодарю![/color]
